PGA Championship leaderboard LIVE: Scottie Scheffler crushes field to win third major title
The world No 1 was chased by Jon Rahm among others but proved too good for the rest at Quail Hollow
Scottie Scheffler crushed the field to clinch his first PGA Championship and the third major title of his career.
Scheffler began the day three shots ahead of his nearest rival, Alex Noren, and the world No 1 got away with some wild tee shots as the chasing pack failed to capitalise.
Eventually Jon Rahm came to the fore, briefly sharing the lead with Scheffler, but his challenge fell apart over the final three holes as Scheffler stormed clear.

Perhaps the most suprising thing about this final round is how not a single chaser has put together a run of birdies. We expected at least one to put the pressure on Scheffler, but so far no one’s looked like getting near his score. Jon Rahm is level so far, Matt Fitzpatrick and Bryson DeChambeau are both +1 for the day, as are Alex Noren and Davis Riley.

Fitzpatrick is having a rollercoaster round, with a couple of bogeys followed by a couple of birdies to start, but he’s now back at four under after missing a birdie putt on seven.
DeChambeau has got himself on trouble and dropped back a shot too, to four under.
Scheffler birdies two
Scheffler bounces straight back from that bogey start with a birdie on two, which seemed unlikely after his terrible tee shot. Noren pars, and the world No 1 has a four-shot lead.

Scheffler misses the fairway on the second with a wild tee shot, but he recovers brilliantly, chipping out from the trees to the middle of the green.
Scheffler bogeys the first
Scheffler runs his par putt just wide of the first hole and he drops back to -10. He offers a smidgen of hope to the rest of the field. Noren, though, does the same.
Davis Riley and JT Poston both bogeyed the first too, so it doesn’t do much to the leaderboard except bring Rahm, DeChambeau and company a shot closer.

Scheffler finds the bunker left of the first green, and his shot from the sand rolls out to perhaps eight feet from the hole. A big early test for the leader to make par.
Alex Noren is in an almost identical position.
Scheffler begins final round
Scottie Scheffler tees off with his overnight three-shot lead still intact. The world No 1 hits a perfect tee shot down the right side of the fairway, and Alex Noren follows with his own fairway finder.
That’s the last group out on the course.

-11 Scheffler
-8 Noren
-7 Riley, Poston

DeChambeau doesn’t hit his birdie putt at all on two, and settles for another par. His tee shot on the third is long but left, and appears to land under a spectator’s legs.

Jonny Vegas finds the sand left of the first green.
Up ahead on two, DeChambeau hits the heart of the green with his second shot, and he’ll have a look at birdie.
